Avocado — contain more potassium than bananas, I bet you never heard that before. they are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acid and fiber. Eating avocados can lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Avocados are very nutritious and contain a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals.

Here are some of the most abundant nutrients, in a single 3.5 ounce (100 gram) serving (3):

This is coming with 160 calories, 2 grams of protein and 15 grams of healthy fats. Although it contains 9 grams of carbs, 7 of those are fiber so there are only 2 “net” carbs, making this a low-carb friendly plant food.

Avocados do not contain any cholesterol or sodium, and are low in saturated fat. I personally don’t think that matters, but this is one of the reasons they are favored by many “old school” experts who still believe these things are inherently harmful.

The quava is such a powerhouse of nutrients that it’s included in the super fruits. Add to the benefit of vitamin C, lycopene, and antioxidants which are beneficial to our skin.

Cilantro is most often cited as being effective for toxic metal cleansing and rightfully so, this herb is a powerful, natural cleansing agent. The chemical compounds in cilantro bind to toxic metals and loosen them from the tissue.

Our immune system has the ability to fully recognize abnormal cells and remove them but only when it becomes fully activated by eating mushrooms.

Mushrooms have

angiogenesis inhibitors – that means these compounds inhibit new blood vessel growth. See in order for a tumor to grow in order for cells to become cancerous and spread they have to send out new signals that create new blood vessels to grow and feed them with nutrients and oxygen. But mushrooms say: “No way.” They inhibit the enzymes released by abnormal cells that promote blood vessel growth threby restricting the oxygen and nutrients from getting to those cells so these substances derived from mushrooms starve off tumors and cancers.”

Mushrooms also prevent the fat in our bodies from growing by stopping the deliveries of calories to feed those fat cells which act as tumors, secreting hormones that stimulate the growth of blood vessels. When the blood vessels grow they become weaker, when their job is really to hold in the nutrients. The weaker they are the more likely they will leak blood that should be delivered to the liver for cleansing or excretion.
